Author Info : Cromwell, CT Description : After a weekend of R&R, you return to your base to find your unit has not returned from routine maneuvers on Mars. Upon checking in with your CO, you find him a changed person. He only mumbles, "Despair, Despair, Why did it have to be Despair." Your comrades had been sent to pay a routine visit to OCP's genetics and physics lab knicknamed "Despair" because of its remote location Grabbing your sidearm, you head for the hanger to begin your search for the fate of your comrades. This is my first complete level, so please bear this in mind. Please E-Mail me with your comments on Compuserve. Additional Credits to : Raphael Quinet and Brendon J Wyber for the DEU editor Colin Reed for the BSP utility Phil TH [Filthy} for the Doomman front end Blackfist for WADRUN Renegade Graphics for DOOMED Windows editor and of course, those great people at id, without which we would not have the pleasure to play DOOM. I would like to thank those great people on CIS for their help and inspirations. Instructions : Put DESPAIR.WAD and DESPAIR.BAT in your DOOM directory, then run the batch file. This takes you right into it, skiping the intro stuff, chooses "Hey, Not Too Rough" skill, and jumps right into the level. Modify the batch file with -skill # as you please. Otherwise, choose New Game, Shores of Hell, and the skill level you prefer and play thru as normal.
